DREAMPHAZE 2
Vaporwave-Themed Combat Robot. currently sitting unfinished in my kitchen or somewhere idk lol
This version switched from a 4-bar lifter to a more simple chain-driven design. The drive motors remained drill motors, with wheels attached by threading on to the drill shafts.
A full breakdown of this design can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUNvwmbFsDA&t=111s
When I was attempting to prototype this with 3d printed parts, I came to a number of realizations
Flaws
- No way to attach the lids. How did I neglect this?!
- Impossible to remove front drive motors without also removing the pillow blocks that mount the weapon.
- Why were there two forks in the middle? This adds weight without any concrete reason to have them
- Robot would tip if attempting to lift something; See Melon_Brawler_2
Fall 2023 I decided to fix these flaws with Dreamphaze_3, thankfully I hadn't started fabricating yet.
